Safety and Efficacy Study of an Edible Colonoscopy Preparation

A Randomized, Investigator- and Colonoscopist-blinded, Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of ECP (Polyethylene Glycol 3350 [PEG 3350]) Colon Prep Kit Compared With MoviPrep® Split-dose for Colonoscopy Preparation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ECP (PEG 3350) Colon Prep Kit compared with MoviPrep split-dose as a colon-cleansing preparation for colonoscopy.
